The Hawks added explosiveness with their first pick of the 2014 draft, choosing the speedy Richardson with their first selection in the second round. Richardson ranked second in the Pac-12 with 83 receptions for 1,343 yards last season and has clocked 40-yard dash times as fast as 4.28 seconds.

There are injury concerns surrounding the slight, 6-foot-tall wideout — he played between 158 and 161 pounds at CU before beefing up to 183 pounds with training this offseason. But if he ’s able to stay on the field, Richardson could add a tremendous big-play element to the Hawks offense.

Seattle filled a position of need with the final pick in the second round, selecting the 6-foot-6, 325-pound offensive lineman out of Missouri. Britt played on the left side in 2013, but will immediately compete with 2013 seventh-round pick Michael Bowie at right tackle for the Seahawks.

Many draft experts expected Britt to go later in the draft, but the Seahawks felt strongly enough about Britt’s performances against top competition in the SEC — including No. 1 overall pick Jadeveon Clowney — to select him with a high pick.

Seattle brought in some reinforcements for the defensive line with their first of three fourth-round draft picks on Saturday. Marsh started his career in Westwood at defensive tackle, but switched to end for his final college seasons, picking up 16 sacks.

"Versatility is a great thing for me. I'm just looking to go in and compete. I know that the Seahawks are huge on competition," Marsh said. "I followed coach (Pete) Carroll all the way through to ... now and I know competition is the biggest thing and that's what I love."

The Hawks selected their second receiver of the draft with their second fourth-round pick. Norwood was a favorite target of Crimson Tide quarterback AJ McCarron, but that didn’t result in huge numbers in Alabama’s run-first offense.

"He's just a stud. He's a stud kid, background, everything he's had to overcome. He was such a reliable guy for them," Seahawks GM John Schneider said.

Though he only caught 81 passes in his entire college career, the 6-foot-2 Norwood should contribute immediately on special teams, and potentially be a much more productive pro than he was in Tuscaloosa.

The Hawks went with the super-quick Pierre-Louis with their final fourth rounder. Pierre-Louis ran a 4.41-second 40-yard dash at February’s combine, and ranked among the top 10 tacklers in the ACC all four years on Chestnut Hill.

Though listed as a linebacker, Pierre-Louis might fit as a run-stopping safety — think Kam Chancellor — in Seattle. Regardless, the Seahawks added an athletic piece to their defense who will likely need to make his living on special teams initially.

The Seahawks took their second offensive lineman of the draft when they selected Scott in the sixth round. He played four different offensive line positions — both guard and tackle spots — for the Thundering Herd in college.

With the departure of Paul McQuistan — who played guard and tackle — via free agency, Scott’s versatility could be a key factor in his changes to make the team. With youngsters like Scott and Alvin Bailey in the mix, position battles along the offensive line will be ones to watch throughout the preseason.

The Hawks are all about competition, and bringing in Small with their last pick proves the point. With Derrick Coleman and Spencer Ware already on the roster, Small will compete for a roster spot to replace Michael Robinson.
